TO sec them they are so magnificent can't begin
TO describe them they should be. The water falls
| over q bluff of rocks over hundred feet and goes
| rolling and tumbng into the depths below. You
| can go all aroung under them and not get even
| sprinkled by the mist. Wild flowers grow ten and
| fifteen feet overhead on the rock. One hundred
| yards below the falls you can step the creek on
| stones When we had looked as much as we wished
| to we went 10 the cs about half mile above and
| took in the city of Galsden. We were about one
mile from the city and over go feet above the city
! level while we were at the CLIFFS; the church bell
